The contract, issued under solicitation SPE8E6-26-T-1900 and awarded on July 15, 2026, requires delivery to DLA Distribution San Diego by December 14, 2026, with performance beginning upon award and concluding within 150 days of order placement. The delivery term is FOB ORIGIN, meaning the government assumes responsibility for transportation costs from the origin point, but final acceptance occurs at the destination. The contractor must comply with stringent military packaging standards including MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, which mandate specific container types, preservation methods, and bar-coded labeling for all shipments. Marking procedures follow Block 1 and Block 2 requirements, with no special marking codes needed. Quality assurance inspections are conducted by the government at the destination using zero-defect sampling criteria per MIL-STD-1916, with acceptance thresholds of AQL 0.1 for critical, 1.0 for major, and 4.0 for minor defects. Compliance with ASTM-D-3951-98 for commercial packaging and NAVSEA 5100-003D for mercury-containing components is also required. All invoicing and receipt documentation must be submitted electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow, with no alternative payment methods permitted, and payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contract includes deviations from standard FAR clauses for veteran employment reporting and sustainable product requirements, along with a specific deviation for subcontracting commercial products, but no options, modifications, or additional funding are included. The contracting officer is Kathleen Selover, with no designated contracting officer’s representative named, and the award is based on a small business set-aside with no other socioeconomic certifications claimed.
